I&#8217;ve made sure all four provinces get a look-in.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;micro IPA&#8221; starts us off gently, and I decided to put Lough Gill&#8217;s <b>Chill<\/b>\u00a0to the test with a realistic use-case: a Monday evening when I didn&#8217;t really feel like drinking but didn&#8217;t not feel like it either. That calls for a 3%-er. It&#8217;s an attractive clear golden in the glass and has a very impressive aroma, smelling heavy and gummy, of luscious tropical fruit: cantaloupe, mango and guava. There&#8217;s absolutely no sign at this stage that it&#8217;s in any way compromised. There&#8217;s only a very slight one on tasting, too, I&#8217;m happy to say. It starts pithy and spicy, with both tropical and citrus elements. It&#8217;s very clean as well, with no intrusive off-flavours taking advantage of the lack of body. But that lack of body is where it falls a little short. The hops finish their act very promptly and the whole thing tails off into water, mere moments after sipping. So it&#8217;s fun while it lasts; refreshing and easy-drinking, and with enough hop character to make it worth your while. I could see myself coming back to it on some future Monday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiHNqUeAdxs6n4WccotS3bS4gvFf1mQptGAVj0wD2zCTWtR078kyBfMM2EaesjVP8ESpivsXcgueNRokkD8uksUN9_N9-5bnZ3AJzCr_y_Wen3lBgu8j1G64tK7DThphVTdOr-m82PQfc6FROmTfoQqWj7jSnWHGIaHm725h1hiPgWqzfkA9GfTUg\/s2305\/aldi_big_bang_brewing_cosmic_hops_ipa.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2305\" data-original-width=\"2255\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiHNqUeAdxs6n4WccotS3bS4gvFf1mQptGAVj0wD2zCTWtR078kyBfMM2EaesjVP8ESpivsXcgueNRokkD8uksUN9_N9-5bnZ3AJzCr_y_Wen3lBgu8j1G64tK7DThphVTdOr-m82PQfc6FROmTfoQqWj7jSnWHGIaHm725h1hiPgWqzfkA9GfTUg\/w196-h200\/aldi_big_bang_brewing_cosmic_hops_ipa.jpg\" width=\"196\"\/><\/a>I don&#8217;t know which brewery created the next in today&#8217;s selection: it&#8217;s an Aldi pale ale, designed to mimic Beavertown&#8217;s branding, and called <b>Cosmic Hops<\/b>. It&#8217;s very much off-fashion, being completely clear and amber coloured. It smells sweet, and a little fruity, like crunchy Skittles or similar. I was expecting something more akin to a soft drink than a beer: sweet and fizzy. That&#8217;s not what happened, however. It&#8217;s undoubtedly cheaply made, hence the rock bottom 99 cent price tag, 3.8% ABV, and thin fizzy texture. Nevertheless, the flavour does have a certain charm, showing tannic English bitter vibes, with a fermenting silage funk and a bittersweet note of peach skin and white plum. It&#8217;s not bad. I would be reasonably confident that this isn&#8217;t actually the product of any Irish brewery, and is brewed by one of Aldi&#8217;s suppliers in the UK. They&#8217;ve done much worse than this. I deem it a perfectly acceptable ultra-economical beer option, although it&#8217;s not for fans of the sort of IPA Beavertown makes: as usual with these, it bears no resemblance to the beer whose clothes it has stolen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgiGBVGEG8ZJmbaMo0vTr64h1z90wap14ZElnK92FcSoQC10dwpjXZ77e9l4UFpWyRVR-KhEkdmjdYPbtykAMuf1Vt2T9rXcpszl5wi3kIdSoGw7-n9Z5pGsMMMMegIXVvOA1gg3GZHg6go-JJ56QBDZRFkPlvZLyfWhe_c65ZBsAQJMYnfnusfJQ\/s2880\/bullhouse_rolling_patrick_hazy_pale.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2880\" data-original-width=\"2260\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgiGBVGEG8ZJmbaMo0vTr64h1z90wap14ZElnK92FcSoQC10dwpjXZ77e9l4UFpWyRVR-KhEkdmjdYPbtykAMuf1Vt2T9rXcpszl5wi3kIdSoGw7-n9Z5pGsMMMMegIXVvOA1gg3GZHg6go-JJ56QBDZRFkPlvZLyfWhe_c65ZBsAQJMYnfnusfJQ\/w157-h200\/bullhouse_rolling_patrick_hazy_pale.jpg\" width=\"157\"\/><\/a>Belfast&#8217;s Bullhouse is next up, with their St Patrick&#8217;s Day theme beer, based on their Rolling Papers IPA, called\u00a0<b>Rolling Patrick<\/b>. For, I guess, the sesh, they&#8217;ve dropped the ABV from 5.2% to 4.3%. It&#8217;s still mega hazy, and has all the haze trappings: an attractive juicy aroma followed by a gritty flavour and texture. There&#8217;s a dose of green spring onion, backed by a resinous weed twang, but nothing that the chalky murk doesn&#8217;t quickly cover. It&#8217;s surprisingly light for a hop-forward hazy beer: I guess I&#8217;m used to having these at American strength. That doesn&#8217;t make it sessionable, however. There&#8217;s too much rough and hot savoury unpleasantness, all dirty and serious, making it impossible to relax with. I&#8217;m sure the brewery put lots and lots of expensive hops into it, but without a clean base for them, that was a bit of a waste. Sure, it just isn&#8217;t my kind of beer, but I have to wonder what anyone else would see in it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgWrzuWryNioBPvdjEKiH8h5AK-Nzpx_HtUWssLmlskqHE5k86jh0UTL23HhoQxmT5G-Kx3qXlFH5ihlv3CxT_3HrFpvKM0kyEoJZ01MGrXC3owZY7ka59Oukf4Cx8C1OQkFfrtrMQdLbIk8btBQ85MJVTw3ILK_ZKUPORyagp7MGi1CjiEZZ6N7Q\/s3030\/hopfully_lotts_ampersand_hazy_ipa.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"3030\" data-original-width=\"2255\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgWrzuWryNioBPvdjEKiH8h5AK-Nzpx_HtUWssLmlskqHE5k86jh0UTL23HhoQxmT5G-Kx3qXlFH5ihlv3CxT_3HrFpvKM0kyEoJZ01MGrXC3owZY7ka59Oukf4Cx8C1OQkFfrtrMQdLbIk8btBQ85MJVTw3ILK_ZKUPORyagp7MGi1CjiEZZ6N7Q\/w149-h200\/hopfully_lotts_ampersand_hazy_ipa.jpg\" width=\"149\"\/><\/a>Posh-nosh Dublin grocer Lotts &amp; Co. has tended to have a fairly decent high-end beer and cider selection, for a shop that absolutely doesn&#8217;t need to carry one. Now they&#8217;ve commissioned an exclusive, the contract going to Hopfully. They&#8217;ve called it <b>&amp;<\/b>, and it&#8217;s a hazy IPA, which is exactly the sort of thing one would approach Hopfully to make. It&#8217;s only 5% ABV, though, so I guess is intended as a sessionable sort of house beer, a bit like the Aldi one above, but with oodles more class. It&#8217;s a custardy yellow in the glass, which I&#8217;m sure will shock a Lotts patron or two, unused to craft IPA&#8217;s modern ways. It smells bouncy and tropical, the mango and pineapple brought to you by Mosaic, Strata and &#8212; surprise inclusion &#8212; Hallertauer Mittelfr\u00fch. The fruit aroma becomes concentrated and intense on tasting, laden with tinned peaches in syrup to begin, but fading quickly, with a quite contrasting dried herb mix taking over, presumably thanks to the German noble hops. There&#8217;s a mild vanilla sweetness, but otherwise the haze element doesn&#8217;t make its presence felt, with no heat, grit or other murky unpleasantness. It all works rather well: understated and subtle, as the name implies, but still characterful and enjoyable. It&#8217;s good to find some simple and decent quality in a shop where the aisles are otherwise crammed with <i>notions<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjF9FmouRO_AOUZ-ystoTlnJkGVEZC7vN50cu9W1QYfgnLdQiZGrSO5ro6rJEQSG8GBwxKo8aL4Cvr3ScEWLCI6IJ-PiZpLSiKw2wWNoiyaDR64tEZH2_B_nNgqgz9Klr1XbNORLouTKFf1J7XoDVgO95Cnvj_RZsEX5VyxRI5qFh8PszHCzLmK4Q\/s2970\/whitewater_roll_in_the_haze_hazy_pale_ale.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2970\" data-original-width=\"2265\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjF9FmouRO_AOUZ-ystoTlnJkGVEZC7vN50cu9W1QYfgnLdQiZGrSO5ro6rJEQSG8GBwxKo8aL4Cvr3ScEWLCI6IJ-PiZpLSiKw2wWNoiyaDR64tEZH2_B_nNgqgz9Klr1XbNORLouTKFf1J7XoDVgO95Cnvj_RZsEX5VyxRI5qFh8PszHCzLmK4Q\/w153-h200\/whitewater_roll_in_the_haze_hazy_pale_ale.jpg\" width=\"153\"\/><\/a>Also at 5% ABV is <b>Roll in the Haze<\/b>, from Whitewater. This brewery was one of the greats of Irish beer going back a decade or three, but I can&#8217;t remember when a beer of theirs last impressed me. That&#8217;s partly down to them not having any distribution in the south these days. Anyway, hello again Whitewater. What have you got for me? This pale ale is rather a dun ochre colour, definitely not showing the custard palette beloved of hoppy hazy beer&#8217;s more involved enthusiasts. It looks murky through carelessness rather than by design. The aroma, too, is not that of fashionable haze but is hot and sweet, with a little vanilla and a lot of clove rock. Its flavour is plain and inoffensive, and I&#8217;m taking that as a win. There&#8217;s a modicum of effervescent fruit candy and a dash of vanilla essence mixed with crunchy oat biscuit. This isn&#8217;t on style at all and I don&#8217;t think the brewer really understood the assignment. There&#8217;s no juice, no freshness, no zing. Whitewater is a &#8217;90s vintage brewery that made some really good 20th-century-style beers. I wish it still did. The transition to our new millennium hasn&#8217;t suited it very well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgMWFqGSa0OlNEV8Wgy8Y3rYNQKjDKfOH4qI6mFLUbG94sVoRJku1CFGkshlEuC6txp9m2DYi_nt7LLDSlQu-Da9eCR4lubyBa7pDmnshr7WlTZqzWLD6bLJlh6Y9eB8oorersCQAdqf9bv059qmMjDOVB72HIkFVsNPLI6M1zR3XeghyphenhyphenTqgalHoQ\/s2490\/lacada_out_on_a_shout_pale_ale.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2490\" data-original-width=\"2235\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgMWFqGSa0OlNEV8Wgy8Y3rYNQKjDKfOH4qI6mFLUbG94sVoRJku1CFGkshlEuC6txp9m2DYi_nt7LLDSlQu-Da9eCR4lubyBa7pDmnshr7WlTZqzWLD6bLJlh6Y9eB8oorersCQAdqf9bv059qmMjDOVB72HIkFVsNPLI6M1zR3XeghyphenhyphenTqgalHoQ\/w179-h200\/lacada_out_on_a_shout_pale_ale.jpg\" width=\"179\"\/><\/a>The next beer, brewed by Lacada to celebrate 200 years of lifeboat service, scored a <a href=\"https:\/\/thebeernut.blogspot.com\/2024\/12\/end-of-year-content-filling.html\" target=\"_blank\">Golden Pint<\/a> from me in December for its branding. The brewery&#8217;s unofficial brand ambassador <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/beinmysolo\" target=\"_blank\">Simon<\/a> was kind enough to slip me a can of <b>Out On A Shout\u00a0<\/b>when last we met, so I get to try the actual beer now. It&#8217;s another 5% ABV hazy IPA. The hops are what looks like a busy combination of Admiral (ha!), Trident (lol!), Yellow Sub (obvs), and Nelson Sauvin (tenuous, but I&#8217;ll take it). Is it correct to allow maritime puns dictate the recipe? Yes, yes it is. In the glass it&#8217;s quite densely hazy, and smells pithy, with a touch of unwelcome savoury seeds. The flavour is oily and resinous, lending it a chewy quality that&#8217;s not supported by the light and breezy texture. There&#8217;s a certain degree of fruity tropical sunshine, but for the most part it&#8217;s all spinach, peanut oil and sesame seed. It has a heat that&#8217;s more than the ABV suggests, but that&#8217;s not a criticism: it punches above its weight and is sippable rather than a quaffer. The savoury side doesn&#8217;t usually sit well with me but I don&#8217;t have the usual objections here. It&#8217;s full and rich, with enough fruit to balance its sharper angles, and achieves what it sets out to do adequately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjs_WajfPQIRm9hHYKXDc5_q1OX1iWsf7Tpxrmh0qiMesEWVjlFG0CY8IWL1TShhtFqWt7xQxsQxJ6BNZWicaZmxIVKO1qwnDIyzxUGM3jANTTACMHMJGOuGP53EypSWZRvJoisMWPs2OakkzVN8L-gStd9UXuUSMRKDHA8OqlX7Vfm-t3cRuOZdw\/s3005\/third_barrel_dont_look_up_ipa.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"3005\" data-original-width=\"2250\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjs_WajfPQIRm9hHYKXDc5_q1OX1iWsf7Tpxrmh0qiMesEWVjlFG0CY8IWL1TShhtFqWt7xQxsQxJ6BNZWicaZmxIVKO1qwnDIyzxUGM3jANTTACMHMJGOuGP53EypSWZRvJoisMWPs2OakkzVN8L-gStd9UXuUSMRKDHA8OqlX7Vfm-t3cRuOZdw\/w150-h200\/third_barrel_dont_look_up_ipa.jpg\" width=\"150\"\/><\/a>This year&#8217;s d\u00e9but from Third Barrel was <b>Don&#8217;t Look Up<\/b>, an IPA of 6.5% ABV, its can featuring the usual cheap-and-smeary computer-generated &#8220;artwork&#8221;. It&#8217;s not badged as a &#8220;west coast&#8221; IPA and I think they might have missed a trick there, because it is one, and there&#8217;s a fanbase for that. It&#8217;s mostly clear and a kind of pale amber shade, topped with a thin but lasting skim of foam. With Centennial, Mosaic and Galaxy hops we&#8217;re promised grapefruit, lime and mango, though it&#8217;s the latter I get most of: a concentrated, almost syrupy, tropical sweetness. That&#8217;s so concentrated as to turn acidic, although it&#8217;s more of a rhubarb astringency to my mind, rather than zesty citrus. The aroma is a funky and foetid fruit effect, with more than a hint of weedy dank. There&#8217;s a lot going on, but it all harmonises quickly and becomes delightfully drinkable: punchy without turning harsh; juicy without losing sight of its essential grown-up beeriness. The slightly high alcohol level gives it a satisfying roundness to smooth off the hops&#8217; various excesses. Though I&#8217;ve had many a beer with these hops, and possibly even with this specific combination, this is distinctively different in a high quality way. Grab it while the aroma is still singing.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like it&#8217;s just a short one this time out. Luckily, the brewers have now properly kicked into gear after the late winter doldrums and there&#8217;s much more new stuff of interest knocking about.
